Here is a Larch I tried to catch with a humming bird at the top. Boon helped restyle it a few years back, it was originally styled by Dan Robinson in a Portland convention around 2000. I was the lucky winner. Dans carving opened a rotten section of the trunk that poked all the way through the trunk. I placed one of my Idaho Garnets on the backside so it glows softly out the front when in sunshine.

How about a shohin Japanese Maple. I acquired this from Jim Doyle (Nature's Way) 4 years ago. Fell for it the moment I saw it and purchased it before his booth was set up at a convention we attended. JRob
